It consists of a See also:series of sermons on the latter portion of the 6th See also:chapter of See also:Ephesians, and is described as a " See also:magazine from whence the Christian is furnished with spiritual arms for the See also:battle, helped on with his armour, and taught the use of his weapon; together with the happy issue of the whole See also:war." The See also:work is more See also:practical than theological; and its See also:quaint See also:fancy, graphic and pointed See also:style, and its fervent religious See also:tone render it still popular with some readers.
